    i agree with Sal unless I am not seeing what the OP is trying to point out. I don't see any doubling. Where exactly do you see doubling @Kennyeva$$$

    p.s. It is "doubled die" or "die doubling" not double die. Welcome to CoinTalk!

    I'm not seeing any doubling. Just a worn cent.

    All I see is a poor image of a circulated coin. What makes you think it is worth grading?

    Two out of three of your pictures are of what we typically refer to as the "reverse." As a general rule of thumb, a doubled die obverse doesn't show on the reverse. But you may have a doubled die obverse and doubled die reverse, in which case you've a new discovery. Or you may have nothing.

    I believe I see the "doubling" the OP is talking about, only it it not doubling, it is part of the design. The columns look "doubled" because the artist was depicting the second column behind each of the columns in the front row.

    But that would be on the reverse. He said it’s a DDO, not DDR. Maybe he got a little mixed up? This doubled die business is complicated.

    Agree! Spend it, or throw it in a wishing well!

    Not the first time any of us has used a term improperly, myself included. I believe the OP meant DDR, based on the pictures provided.

    Don't spend it. It may not be worth more than face value right now, but it is part of the dying breed of copper cents. I would keep it because of that alone.

    I voted for the top ? in your poll. Not sure why but it was there. It’s a normal coin so spend it.
